5.2.1  Enhancement

Top N type reports are now supported. A Top N type report named 

All Vendors All Products 

Top 10 Report

 is installed with this hotfix and is available as a Visualization from the Search Save 

As Report dialog as well from the main report list. This report provides an easy way to view a 
dashboard of the most frequent activity being monitored by Sentinel Log Manager.

556411

Issue: Squashfs indexes that were mounted by a previous running 
instance of the server are not cleaned up when the server starts, resulting 
is failed searches.

Fixed: The server now detects if old mounts need to be cleaned up and 
cleans them up allowing searches to complete normally.

552519

Issue: The softwarekey.sh script was not included in the install, making it 
difficult to reset the license key with the server turned off.

Fixed: The softwarekey.sh script is now included.

549582

Issue: An event is not searchable by its original timestamp if it arrives 
more than a day late.

Fixed: The event is searchable by its original timestamp no matter how 
late it arrives.

546324 

Issue: A rule or data retention policy configured with a filter that is just a full 
text search (i.e., no field such as 

sev:5

 is specified) results in an error on 

the server that prevents any users from logging into the Web interface or 
ESM user interface.

Fixed: The bug is fixed so that all valid filters are now accepted and 
evaluated properly. Filter validation is also done before allowing a user to 
save a filter to prevent an invalid filter from being saved that would cause 
logins to fail.

545837

Issue: The Event Source Management (ESM) user interface is not able to 
read the maxclausecount property in the 

SentinelPreferences.properties

 file. 

Fixed: The Event Source Management (ESM) user interface works fine 
with a high number (>=~1000) event sources and does not log any 

max 

clause count exceeded

 exceptions.

545197

Issue: When many event sources are configured (for example, 2000+), the 
Event Source Management (ESM) user interface consumes lot of memory 
on webstart (for example, 1GB) and also becomes unusable.

Fixed: The ESM user interface now works fine if there are many event 
sources are configured. 

527007 

Issue: To turn on or off the data logging for all of the operating system 
event sources and all of the Application collectors, a 

Data logging (All) On 

and Off

 option is required for the 

APPLICATIONS
